| Yes or no? Regardless if you did not end up marrying them they were still your boyfriend during that moment in time. Nothing will ever change that. |

| Hell no. I don't even keep birthday cards from family for more than a month. Who has space for that dusty clutter? |

| Some, yes |

You must not be from the generation that actually wrote letters and cards. |

| No, but I’m an adult. |

I'm 43. I've written plenty, but I'm not a hoarder. Hold on to things for a bit, then they go in the recycle bin after a few weeks. Do you honestly keep birthday and xmas cards forever?? |

| No and my HS boyfriend sent me a copy of one a few years ago. I graduated from HS 30 year ago. So weird and awkward. We are both married with kids. His wife kind of looks like me though. |

| I had been, but after I accepted DH's proposal, when I got home I threw them all away. I only kept pictures he was in if other friends were also in them, but none just of exes, and none just of me with exes. |

| I threw them away because it wasn't a relationship worth remembering. I did have one worth remembering but everything sweet he ever said to me was over AOL Instant Messenger and sadly lost in the ether. |

| A few. But incidentally as they were in a box of keepsakes from that time. At some point I’m sure they’ll be lost. |

| Kept first card from MS boyfriend (first love) and tossed the rest including photos. DH also tossed old girlfriend pics. |

| Purged it all not too long ago. Don't want my husband or kids stumbling across that stuff, esp since it no longer has sentimental value for me. |

| Anybody who keeps them after age 25 either peaked in high school or has hoarder tendencies. Neither is inherently bad. But no I didn’t keep mine. |

| Yes, I have some. NBD and I don’t care if my husband or kids see it. |
